Crickets you have a great set up! What do you use to go from the triangular 'ring' to attach to the pole.

I had bought strawberry starts in those 10 in a bag deals (2 bags) that HD had. They look like dried up tuffs of nothing when you get the rubber bands off. But, i went ahead and planted them in the holes of the turvys. I had moistened the soil but had not done a heavy watering yet and that bag WEIGHED A TON! I had a little clamp on the triangle in order to fit the bag on the shepherd's hook. I cannot hang it though until I have the 2 bags ready as the post started to buckle. Don't know if it will work anyway. Hmmm. Plus a gallon of water a day it recommends? Wow. I have it sitting on a chair until I figure this out. I was thinking a pergola type of deal would work great, but not with that screw they provide.
